What this trial studies
This pilot study evaluates the feasibility and effectiveness of an early, in-hospital multidisciplinary intervention for adult patients who have survived an ICU stay of 12 hours or more and are at risk for psychological and physical complications. The intervention involves a case manager who coordinates rehabilitation efforts, provides support, and ensures a follow-up plan is in place from ICU discharge to primary care. Patients will receive weekly check-ins for 12 weeks to monitor their well-being and rehabilitation progress. The study aims to gather insights from patients and caregivers through interviews to enhance recovery strategies.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults who have spent 12 hours or more in the ICU and are assessed to be at increased risk for post-intensive care syndrome.
Not a fit: Patients with dementia, major cognitive issues, structural brain or spinal cord injuries, or those with insufficient language skills in Swedish may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly improve the recovery and quality of life for ICU survivors facing psychological and physical challenges.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with multidisciplinary approaches for ICU survivors, indicating potential for success in this pilot intervention.
